Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 7, 1917.

Application filed .Tune 5, 1915. Serial No. 32,389.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Ismon A. CHAIKIN, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pattern-Holders;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to holders and more particularly to a device ofthis character especially designed for holding patterns of wearingapparel.

An object of the invention is the provision of a pivotally supportedframe of novel and efficient construction supporting a plurality ofdetachable pattern hangers.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in thenovel construction, arrangement and formation of parts as will behereinafter specifically described, claimed, and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the pattern hanger applied touse,

Fig. 2 represents a front elevation of a pattern and the securing meanstherefor.

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein similar reference numeralsdesignate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral5 indicates a sup porting plate having apertures therein for thereception of screws 6 or the like whereby the plate is secured inposition upon a wall. A pair of bearing members 7 are secured to theplate 5 in spaced relation and receive the body 8 of a frame including aplurality of arms 9, 10 andrll. The upper or bracing arm 9 is extended adistance outwardly of the body 8 and is curved downwardly and directedinwardly as indicated at 11 to provide a supporting arm, the ex tremitythereof being curved upwardly as indicated at 12 and is spaced from thesimilarly curved terminal 13 of the supporting arm 10. The curvedportions 12 and 13 of the frame form a Substantially semi-circularenlargement in the frame having an opening 14 in the most prominentportion thereof.

A plurality of rings 15 are movably disposed upon the lower portion ofthe frame and are prevented from accidentaly slipping through theopening 14: by the upwardly curved portions 12 and 13. When desired, therings may be removed by slipping them upwardly over the curved ends 12and 13 of the frame and outwardly through the opening 14 between saidends. Snap hooks 16 are detachably secured to the rings 15 and areprovided with swiveled eyes 17 through which the patterns or otherobjects are permanently secured.

A ring 18 is slidably positioned over the lower horizontal portion ofthe frame and is swivelly connected with a link 19 by a bolt 20. Thelink 19 carries a plurality of detachable snap hooks 21 through theshanks of which are permanently secured the patterns or the like 22.

In placing the patterns on the holders, the same are preferably soarranged that the last numeral of the lot number of each pattern is thesame on each holder. F or instance, the plate illustrated in Fig. 1bears the numeral 5, and all patterns, the lot number of which ends with5, such as 105, 205, etc., are placed on this holder.

What is claimed is:

A pattern holder comprising a supporting member, a frame pivotallysecured thereto, said frame including a pair of horizontal supportingarms, and a substantially semicircular guard element at the adjacentends of said arms having an opening in the prominent portion thereof, aplurality of annular members positioned on said frame, removable throughthe opening in the guard element and movable over said guard elementfrom one arm to the other.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ISIDOR A. CHAIKIN.
